Obsequy for Lost Things

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of history and colonialism, this collection features three prose-poetry sequences, primarily set in the Thames estuary. It engages with the psychological impact of colonialism's defeat, a pivotal event of the 20th century that many British poets of the 1960s overlooked. The work challenges contemporary poets to confront their experiences with depth and seriousness, urging them to avoid superficial interpretations and to acknowledge the complexities of their historical context.
